I like that he basically slept through the testicle removal, and only awoke for the REAL castrastion. It might just be me, but I generally wake up whenever someone is biting my genitals.

He "wouldn't want to cause any problems by pressing charges"? When the woman's already ripped your balls off, it's a little late to be worrying about whether or not you've been causing problems.

Bus torched in brawl over `stolen' penis
The Independent, Thursday , April 12, 2001
Alex Duval Smith Africa Correspondent
EIGHT PEOPLE have died in Osu, northeast of Lagos, after a bus was torched in a brawl caused by the alleged disappearance of a man's penis, according to news reports in Nigeria.
The killings happened after an Osu resident, named as Kunle Eniola, accused a man travelling with a revivalist group, The Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, of stealing his penis through witchcraft. The accusation is sometimes used by confidence trickters who take advantage of the ensuing panic to rob the alleged witch.
Lagos's daily Guardian newspaper reported yesterday that the eight people were burnt alive on Sunday after a crowd of people gathered around the religious group's bus in support of Mr Eniola. As the bus tried to move on, members of the crowd gave chase in other vehicles. They eventually stopped the vehicle and set it alight. The eight were unable to escape.
Police could not be reached yesterday in Osu, 75 miles from Lagos, but the religious group said its followers had stopped in the town on their way to a convention. Mr Eniola and another man are now in custody, the Guardian reported.
Belief in witchcraft, known as "juju", or voodoo black magic is widespread throughout Africa and is often used to exert power or extort money from people.
